Voyager to Alma Migration Query: Bibliographic Records with an invalid Record Status in the MARC Leader
When migrating from Voyager to Alma, it may be desirable to identify and review those bibliographic records that have an invalid MARC Record Leader record status (LDR/05). You may want to clean up any invalid codes.
This query, which can be run using Voyager Prepackaged Access Reports, will find bibliographic records with a records status code other than a, c, d, n, or p.
SELECT BIB_TEXT.BIB_ID, BIB_TEXT.RECORD_STATUS,
BIB_TEXT.TITLE_BRIEF,
BIB_TEXT.EDITION, BIB_TEXT.IMPRINT,
BIB_TEXT.NETWORK_NUMBER, BIB_MASTER.SUPPRESS_IN_OPAC
FROM BIB_TEXT INNER JOIN BIB_MASTER
ON BIB_TEXT.BIB_ID = BIB_MASTER.BIB_ID
WHERE (((BIB_TEXT.RECORD_STATUS) Not Like "a"
And (BIB_TEXT.RECORD_STATUS) Not Like "c"
And (BIB_TEXT.RECORD_STATUS) Not Like "d"
And (BIB_TEXT.RECORD_STATUS) Not Like "n"
And (BIB_TEXT.RECORD_STATUS) Not Like "p"));
